I got to hand to this Gimbal..After seeing that video comparison, it reall got my wheels turning. I'm really impressed and thats hard to do. Im thinking real hard to get the best and forget the rest...great video quality, no jello and he was banking that s800 pretty good and that picture never budged. Wow!! Again, nice job DJI!!!

So I haven't had a chance today to crack open my Phantom to do the internal install, but I wanted to test fit it on the bottom of the phantom to figure out how I was going to mount my VTX which was velcro'd to the belly.

But.... I can't even get that far and I'm baffled. I've gone over it ten times and even discussed it with another owner.

The gimbal to vibration plate are two perfectly flat surfaces.. but these screws won't allow that.

That won't allow two flat surfaces to mate...... Now, the screws in that photo match exactly the ones mentioned in this DroneFly install, M2 5x5. (first min)

Well, I have decided Im keeping my Gimbal that I received today as I really don't think a few scratches will affect the gimbals performance or at least I hope it wont! Just too much shipping and waiting for them to ship another one. My PMU gets here Wed and then Ill hook it up and cross my fingers that it works like it should. If it has issues then I'll return it..... Just too much drama we need less Drama... : ) Ill keep you posted PS I got my first job request to use my F550 to shoot some Arial stuff so maybe I can make all this $$ I have spent in the last 4 weeks back...LOL

@Thameth,
Just had a look, my screws fit perfectly, but in any case just take other screws and be happy.
You could also open your mind to the option, that there is a small chance that you did something not completely correct.

As to the results of the experiment.... It's amazing. I have tried a handful of Alexmos/Martinez GoPro sized gimbals out there. While they perform nicely, I feel they don't match the performance level of the H3-2D. As of this moment it's my opinion the H3-2D is the one to beat. DJI has nailed it.

Thanks for the video, but you were taking it very easy. Can you do a full forward to full back.. to full left, to full right? Then do a full speed pass for a couple 100 yards? By that I don't mean full forward, to mid stick, to back, I mean strait from one extreme to the other.

A DJI H3-2D vs a quality Alexmos gimbal (ViacopterDD og Flyduino) would be great Please don't test it against a Chinese open sourced board gimbal (like the Arris etc). These are bad quality gimbals compared to the "real" BL gimbals, like the one's I mentioned above.
